In the fog-veiled city of Brighthurst, Elias Choiron-a brilliant yet guarded lawyer-lives by rules, order, and logic, dismissing the whispers of rare magic and ancient curses as mere superstition. But when a cryptic message draws him into a web of secrets, Elias's life is irrevocably altered. What begins as an unusual case unveils a hidden world of power-a world where magic is rare and dangerous, wielded by few and feared by most.
Forced to confront a dark past and an even darker destiny, Elias stumbles upon an ancient, forbidden curse that binds him to powers beyond his control. But as he seeks answers, he is drawn into a mystery that threatens not only his own life but the fragile balance of magic in Brighthurst. Navigating a city rife with intrigue, betrayal, and shadows of a once-mighty navy, Elias must learn to wield his curse or risk being consumed by it.
In a tale where magic is elusive and treachery lurks behind every corner, Elias Choiron must decide how far he's willing to go to protect the city-and himself-from the forces he has unleashed.

In a world divided by war, where rivalries burn hotter than the sun and the clash of swords echoes through the ages, two commanders forged an unexplainable bond in their final moments-a bond that would become legend.** When the battlefield claimed Azrion and Rhael, enemies sworn to destroy one another, their intertwined hands told a tale the world would never forget. Some called it fate, others a fleeting touch of the divine. No one knew the truth behind their final act of unity. Centuries later, their story lingers in whispers, a warning and a mystery. Kai and Jeyrick, bitter rivals in a kingdom on the brink, care little for ancient legends. Their only focus is outwitting each other in a rivalry as fierce as the storms that plague their lands. Yet, when they are thrown together on a mission that could tip the scales of war, they begin to question the roles they've always played. Is their rivalry born of hatred, or is there a deeper reason their paths always cross? As shadows loom and destiny stirs, Kai and Jeyrick must face the truth: sometimes, the enemy you fight the hardest is the one you're meant to save. A tale of war, destiny, and the bonds that transcend hatred, *The Binding of Rivals* will grip your heart and leave you questioning the power of fate and the true meaning of brotherhood.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.Complete
Black Obsidian
In the heart of the ruthless Solkarian Empire, where power is law and dissent is met with steel, Kaelis Valeran is a survivor of her own damnation. Branded a traitor for wielding the forbidden magic of the Obscuralis, she was torn from her home and imprisoned in the fortress of Vareth-a place where pain is a lesson and obedience is carved into flesh. Five years later, she no longer remembers the girl she once was. She has become a weapon honed in darkness, trained to kill at the Empire's command. But the world beyond Vareth has not forgotten her. Elias Prian, the boy who once swore to protect her, has spent years searching for the girl who vanished. When he finds her, he does not recognize the hardened warrior standing in her place. The Empire has twisted her into something unbreakable, something lethal-but not invincible. Dante Varos, the Empire's most feared general, is a man whose name alone is enough to break spirits. Cold, calculating, and bound to duty, he sees Kaelis as nothing more than another blade in the Emperor's arsenal-a tool to be sharpened and wielded, not trusted.
